An API would be great for us since it would let us to run our tests against all web browsers by making some http requests. Wouldn't it be revolutionary?

Do you test all of IE6, 7, 8, and 9 like that?
Yes, I do. Which is part of the reason I pirate windows, because it is the only way I know how to get an IE6 install. It is reasonably fast to setup, because once you install XP, you can copy the VM, and install IE 7, copy the VM and install IE 8. I then do the same thing for Vista/Windows 7. With 8 Gb of ram, I have no problem running 3 Xps, and 2 Windows 7, at the same time.
That's good to know. I'm in the market for a laptop to replace my desktop, and I want enough RAM to run multiple VMs like that. Was thinking I'd need to find one with 12 or 16GB, which rules out MacBooks (unless I get an expensive 3rd party 2x8GB RAM upgrade). But maybe not.
